Another day at class

Today at class today we did not do much because a lot of people in the class have not created blogs yet. Since I already created a blog I customized my blog a little bit by changing the back round. Next I changed my screen savor to ribbons which looks pretty cool by the way. Also I changed my computer back round to random out door scenes. Then we were pretty much talking and being kind of bored until everyone who had there computer was finished creating there blog. Finally at the near end of the class Mr. Schick gives us are very first homework. The homework is to define 6 words and what the ancient Greeks meant when they called you an idiot. The first word is arête and it is a ridge of a rock typically formed when two glaciers erode parallel U shaped valleys. The next word is polis which means city in Greek. Socrates is the next word who was a classical Greek Athenian philosopher who was one of the founders of western philosophy and taught Plato and Xenophon. Socrates's death happened by drinking hemlock which kills you if you don't treat it, he had the chance to treat it but it would not let him be a philosopher so he choose to die. The Socratic method was invented by Socrates which is a inquiry and debate that stimulates critical thinking and to illuminate ideas. In 508 BC the office of Pontifex Maximus was created in Rome. Then the war between Rome and Clusium happens which ends up as a peace treaty. Next word is agora this was the central spot in most Greek city states that literally means gathering place. Finally what the Greeks meant when they called you and idiot was that everyone was required to vote and if you did not you were considered a idiot.
